I had never read this author's work previously, and am not sure I'll read any other novels by them. It was okay, a bit predictable and plodding. The characters weren't as three dimensional as they could have been. Still this is a book to pass time with. Or killit.
It makes me sad when a competent writer doesn't think enough of their work to proofread. This book is full of typos. Examples: one character is referred to by three different names.....Mery, Merv and Merry. Cheerleaders "pom poms" are referred to as "porn porns". Ridiculous.
A fascinating glimpse into a Cherokee boarding school when an eight year old girl is murdered right off the boundary of school property. Excellent character development and a story line that grabs your interest. (I would have given it 5 stars but there are several typos)
The mysteries in this series are really good! The typos are numerous, the format of the paragraph and dialog makes conversations confusing. I strongly recommend a proofreader.
This book was a very good read. Even with all the typos and misspellings. I found this book had a good plot and well thought out. I totally enjoyed it and look for more.
Loved the storytelling in this book, and the native American people who the stories move around. Great mysteries, keeping you involved until the last minute!
I really enjoy the Native American genre of mysteries on the reservations. I particularly enjoyed this book about the Cherokee. I like learning about the culture of the different tribes. I now have another favorite in Mitch Bushyhead.
